Chapter 97 - Don"t Give Up Okay ?

" Oh these " taking the packages from Lin Yan "s hand , Su Wan placed all of it on the table and said with a smile " these are the key to our success "

Madam? Cheng didn"t understand what Su Wan meant by this thus , Su Wan grinned and looked at Lin Yu who limped over to madam Cheng and showed her , his designs . Just one glance at his designs and Madam Cheng was ecstatic " Master your skills are really something ! " she exclaimed in praise " These novel designs and unique patterns if we really launch something like this in our shops we will soon take over the Long Feng embroidery shop -for such beautiful designs , I"m certain that those rich missies and masters would pay two hundreds copper coins with ease "

Two hundred copper coins was a feat to Madam Cheng now , in the past they used to sell clothes that used to sell for a tael or two but now their shop had hit rock bottom and Madam Cheng couldn"t sell a piece of cloth for even twenty copper coins .

" what two hundred copper coins ? " said Su Wan frowning slightly , she had seen such uniques designs being sold for millions in the modern world , anything that was unique and new was tagged with a high price tag " I believe Lin Yu "s skills are worth more than this , Madam Cheng its better if you cla.s.sify the embroidery in high to low category and sell it accordingly , and I think two hundred copper coins are too low , these designs are unique and will be sold first in our shop , if we don"t make the most out of it in the starting it will be too late for us when other shops starts copying us , don"t you think so ? "

The designs that Lin Yu drew were indeed unique and never seen but in the end they were just dresses , the town has a good number of expert embroiderers , it won"t take too long for them to understand the basics and launch their own designs , so Su Wan wanted to make an early start , she was not being greedy but practical , because they will launch at least twenty to twenty five designs new designs , it will take a? month or so for? the embroiderers of the town? to understand it .

" You are right , missy . How foolish of me " said Madam Cheng with an understanding smile " we will launch the one with the exquisite design and most beautiful embroidery at two taels while the simple one will be sold for eight hundred copper coins , will this be okay ?"

Su Wan nodded " but in case if two person wants to the same dress then let them bid for the dress and sell it to the one with the highest bid "

" I understand , missy " Madam Cheng thought that Su Wan was thinking too far ahead , after all these were just clothes who will try to make a bid for it . But she didn"t say anything in case Su Wan called her a pessimist .

Su Wan understood the sceptical expression of madam Cheng but didn"t say anything . She was in-fact quite certain that their clothes will really create an uproar in the market for some while , as for thinking to far ahead ? The rich missies here actually spends one tael of silver to buy a small bottle of infused oil will they not spend a tael for a new dress that was both fashionable and beautiful ?

Instead Su Wan was quite worried that in the upcoming days , Lin Yu had to work just as hard as Lin Yan .

" and make the girls that work on these dresses sign a contract , with the clause that if they teach the designs to others without our knowledge , then they will be fined five taels and sold " Su Wan knew that this was a little cruel but she wanted to delay the plagiarism as much as possible , this era had no " copyright " , if someone liked their designs and wanted to make it from the scratch with his own flare added to it , there was nothing they could do but even so , Su Wan didn"t want to make it easier for them .

" I understand , missy " Madam Cheng took this seriously , she knew that the dresses her master and mistress came up with must have taken a lot of time and energy , and she also knew how cut throat the compet.i.tion was in the market , after Shen Shui died , the flare that their shop died as well , Long Feng shop poached their seamstresses , who didn"t want to waste their youth and skills in the shop that was going down hill .

Those seamstresses never once thought that it was Shen Shui who taught them their skills which they so happily imparted to the Long Feng shop - heh , those greedy and selfish women would have never thought that their Shan Shui might make a come back !

Madam Cheng gripped on the paintings of dresses that Lin Yu brought and took him inside to the room where they made clothes . Lin Yu was hesitant at first seeing this Madam Cheng didn"t force him instead left it to Su Wan who patted his shoulder and encouraged him " Yu , from now on this shop of my late mother will be relying on you , I know you will do an excellent work here , don"t worry if you mess up , its alright . But never give up okay ? Or else I will be angry "

Lin Yu was an introvert , a bit fearful and lacked confidence , if he made a mistake instead of correcting it , he will try to patch things up and never touch the thing he made mistake in ever again. Su Wan didn"t want him to do so in embroidery as well , she didn"t want him to give up designing clothes just because he made a mistake or ruined the piece of cloth he was working on , that would just backfire and their efforts will go down the drain , so its better to encourage and give Lin Yu a push in case he ever thinks about quitting .

Lin Yu hesitated but nodded , he understood that if he wanted to break away from his sh.e.l.l he could no longer run away from his mistakes " I understand , I won"t give up . I will try to bring this shop to a new height " because only then he will able to walk beside Su Wan with his head held high .

Su Wan was really happy that he actually promised to try his best , she muttered good three times and ruffled Lin Yu "s hair just like Lin Yan .
